49 amounts to positive progress on that matter.95 However, despite that preliminary reparation, investigation and judicial punishment of perpetrators is still pending. 168. Regarding said matter, the Court points out that the State has a duty to fight impunity by resorting to all legal means available, as impunity fosters the chronic repetition of human rights violations and renders victims and their next of kin completely defenseless.96 * * * 169. The Court finds that domestic proceedings and processes did not amount to effective remedies to guarantee the right to fair trial, to establish the truth of the facts, to investigate and punish the perpetrators and to redress the consequences of violations. Therefore, the State is responsible for the violation of Articles 8(1) and 25 of the Convention, regarding Article 1(1) of that treaty, to the detriment of Guadalupe Yllaconza, Crispín, Fidela, Roberto, Segundina, Miguelita, Perseveranda, Vicente and Sabina; all of them members of the Baldeón-Yllaconza family. Moreover, the Court considers that the State failed to comply with Articles 1, 6 and 8 of the Inter-American Convention against Torture regarding the obligation to investigate and punish torture in domestic courts after April 28, 1991.
